Subject: Replace spaces with underscore after some pattern in line
How to replace all of the spaces in each line after XXX string?
Input sample data:
aaaaaa bbbbbb cccc XXX aaaaa bbbbbbb
cccccccc eeeeeeeeee XXX aaa bbbb cccc ddd
aaaa bbbb ddd ee XXX aaa bbb dddd eee
Output sample data:
aaaaaa bbbbbb cccc XXX_aaaaa_bbbbbbb
cccccccc eeeeeeeeee XXX_aaa_bbbb_cccc_ddd
aaaa bbbb ddd ee XXX aaa_bbb_dddd_eee

Hi
to my slight surprise this works:
:%s/\(XXX[^ ]*\) /\1_/g
The reason I had doubts is that the successive replacements start at the
beginning of the earlier replacement.
(Sorry about layout. I'm not into this add at the end bit).

Oh no it doesn't. One needs to repeat until all done. The g is
pointless. - Chris
